The IGNORE-gauration

I will avoid any and all media that discusses it for at least the entire week.

After the week of the inauguration. I plan to protect my peace by any means necessary for the duration of Republicans’ crime spree.

As with all of life’s vicissitudes I am going to try my best to remember that people didn’t just survive Trump before—many thrived. I can not just survive but thrive too this time.

What is your strategy for dealing with the impending scourge?

to The Felon's inaugural verbal vomit, re-read MLK's "Letter From A Birmingham Jail," one of the most profoundly American documents in our history. Then, being near Kansas City, I plan to go to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. (also, being near Kansas City, I'm rather ashamed to say I have never been to it.)

if the earth cracks open i want to see trump fall into the hole
if he has a heart attack i want to see him drop dead
if he has a brain aneurysm i want to see him drop dead
if he has a stroke i want to see him stroke out and drop dead
if an eagle flies into his face and stabs his eyes i want to see him die of fright

if biden attends i'll be annoyed
if obama attends i'll be pissed (if michelle is there i'll be shocked)
if the clintons attend i'll be doubly pissed

if v.d. vance isn't there b/c he's going to the ohio state football game i'll be pleased as punch, seeing how some repukes were responding to him "joking" about doing that. i hope he does. go, v.d, have a great time, lol

when obama was moving out of the white house i wrote a song called "january blues." it was a slow, sad, bluesy little song. (made a video with the music on it) and every fucking time i watched it i cried. but i won't be doing that again or going thru that again. i just wish trump and eloon would kill each other before their special day.

If that’s what you mean. I’m also dreading the wall to wall posts about it on DU. Ignoring it will mean not signing on to DU for a few days.
